- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It develops when the body makes abnormal B-lymphocytes – the lymphoma cells. (B-cell lymphocytes are white blood cells that fight infection). Sometimes lymphoma cells begin in other parts of the body. This is called extranodal disease.

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes. It is also called DLBCL. It usually grows in lymph nodes -- the pea-sized glands in your neck, groin, armpits, and elsewhere that are part of your immune system.It can also show up in other areas of your body. Immunodeficiency-associated. 2  This variant of Burkitt lymphoma is most common in people with HIV/AIDS. 3  It accounts for 30% to 40% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in HIV patients and may be an AIDS-defining disease.

Treatment for Specific Types of Skin Lymphoma Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, other (non-leg) Patients with this type of lymphoma (which involves sites other than the leg) need systemic chemotherapy, similar to that used for primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type. This is most often the R-CHOP regimen (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone).

Non-Hodgkinâs Lymphoma and HIV Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer of special white blood cells called lymphocytes, which help your body fight infections. It starts in your lymph system. Because this system runs throughout your body, the cancer can show up almost anywhere. It can also spread to your liver, bones, brain, belly, and other parts of your body.

- Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B-cell lymphoma. All the symptoms are caused by rapid turnover of the mature B lymphocytes and the involvement of extranodal sites and invasion of contiguous organs.atients with Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL) may have a variable presentation compared with those with classic Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Patients with BLL usually present in their fourth or fifth decade of life.

Lymphoma - Non-Hodgkin: Subtypes Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This is the most common form of lymphoma. About 30% of NHL in the United States is this type. It is an aggressive form of NHL that involves organs other than the lymph nodes about 40% of the time. About 2 out of 3 people with DLBCL are cured with chemotherapy given in combination with rituximab (Rituxan).

Overview Where non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma generally involves the presence of cancerous lymphocytes in your lymph nodes, but the disease can also spread to other parts of your lymphatic system. These include the lymphatic vessels, tonsils, adenoids, spleen, thymus and bone marrow.

Understanding Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma -- the Basics Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is further classified into a variety of subtypes based on the cell of origin (B-cell or T-cell), and the cell characteristics. The subtype of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma predicts the necessity of early treatment, the response to treatment, the type of treatment required, and the prognosis. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is much more common than Hodgkin lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the seventh most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma increases with age and it is more common in males than in females and in Caucasians.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia In CLL, B cells grow in an uncontrolled manner and accumulate in the bone marrow and blood, where they crowd out healthy blood cells. CLL is a stage of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), a type of B-cell lymphoma, which presents primarily in the lymph nodes. CLL and SLL are considered the same underlying disease, just with different appearances.

Abstracts and Case Studies From the College of American Pathologists 2014 Annual Meeting (CAP '14) Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising from the extra hepatic biliary tract is a rare phenomenon, with fewer than 20 cases reported in the literature. Most of the cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, which account for 30% to 40% of all cases of lymphomas.ontext: The clinical behavior of low-grade neuroendocrine tumors, including tumorlet, typical carcinoid (TC), and atypical carcinoid (AC) of the lung, is not firmly established. The aim of our study was to determine whether clinicopathologic features can be used to predict tumor behavior.
